I saw him in Glassford Street as well. I thought he was coming from some performance :?

I asked my mate about him.
My mate tried to photograph him with his phone as the guy was dancing on the bus with his back to him so he only got a shot from behind but as he brought the phone down the guy swung round to face my mate pointing his finger at him as the bus drove off

Speaking of odd folk, does anyone remember the punk guy who used to wander around a couple of years ago? I'd encounter him in random pubs and the like, inlcuding one memorable late night at the Noodle Bar where he had brought in his own coffee, sugar and milk! Think he had pink furry boots on at one point, and spoke with a slightly camp English accent. Haven't seen him for yonks now though.

I do have a pic somewhere, will try to dig it out.

What about the guy around the West End/Byres Road/Botanics who always wears a big thick dark coat and hat with ear flaps, regardless of whether it's 30 degrees or 3 degrees!

Sounds an awful lot like a guy I spoke to at a bus stop a while back. He offered me a roll up.

There is two guys that beg outside the Barrowlands ballroom entrance every weekend when the barras open.... but everytime I wonder by, its always one or the other.... do they beg in rotation?
Even with my traders badge on, they still ask me and I've never given them anything yet

Ever seen that group of winos who sit next to the car park on Ross Street, between London Road, & the Gallowgate ?
They start very early.

Anyone ever seen Sammy Davis Jnr? He's a skinny Asian guy who, er, looks
like Sammy Davis Jnr, and he floats about the Sauchiehall St area. He usually
wears big headphones (proper hi-fi headphones, not portable jobs) and he appears
to, maybe, have Tourettes or something - he's always shouting stuff out loud.

He's over there...
